When I first moved to Istanbul, 3 years ago, I was sad to leave my beautiful home in Greece, but I felt excited to start a new life in a new country.
In the beginning, I had one very big problem: I didn't speak Turkish!
I went to a Turkish course, but I always got so nervous to speak Turkish outside the classroom.
Everyone spoke Turkish so quickly, I didn't understand anybody!
I felt confused because I didn't know the streets or areas.
My parents felt very worried because I was far from my family.
But now I have many friends and I live in nice home.
I learned the metro, bus, tramway and ferry routes so I don't get confused.
Istanbul is a very big city, so I never feel bored!
I'm really feeling happy here!
